As the daughter of two public school teachers here in Central Wisconsin, I couldn't be prouder to flip this seat alongside AFT-Wisconsin.

Together, we’re building a winning coalition to defeat Derrick Van Orden and fight for students, educators, and staff across the 3rd District!

Katrina has been a bold fighter for public education since day 1. From fighting the education cuts of Point Forward to advocating to increase funding for the UW System with Reaching Higher for Higher Ed, she has had our back. We're excited to endorse Katrina Shankland for Congress!

Wishing our members and their families a happy #MothersDay !

AFT-Wisconsin I was so excited & honored to attend #unionstrong 💪

'the UW System is asking us to believe that we can no longer afford what generations of Wisconsin residents have already benefited from — face-to-face instruction in the many disciplines that make the comprehensive campuses truly comprehensive.'

Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.

On this #WorkersMemorialDay , we honor the workers we’ve lost & reaffirm our fight for the health & safety of the living. We stand together to support improved workplace standards, fight attacks on workplace safety measures, & demand action.

'Historically, Wisconsin chose to build up its university system as a means of delivering a good quality education to its people at an affordable price... In the last 14 years, UW schools have been degraded by stealth, and the people of the state are worse off for it.'

'I’m seeing a lot of our really poor students fall through the cracks on a daily basis.'
'Whoever comes into this role has a huge opportunity to really fight systemic poverty in this city.'
- AFT Local 212 Liz Franczyk, executive director of the Fast Fund
